Possible retirement

——————————————————-

18 November 2006

I may be able to give up my work soon, and perhaps emigrate to the Bahamas.

I believe I’m about to become a multi-millionaire!

I’ve just received an e-mail from “Mr.Adukarim”, who is the “secertry of auditing and dept africa development bank in ouagadougou b/fWest Africa” who says that, if I send him my bank details and personal information, I may get a 40% share in “sum of $10.8million Dollars (Ten million eight hundred thousan Dollars)” because one of his customers died when the plane he was travelling in crashed in Nigeria. To avoid taxes, this money has to be sneakily transferred out of the country via a helpful Westerner like me.

It may sound dodgy but the e-mail reassures me it’s “100prcent risk free!”

WOOOOH! I’m in the money!

(Now, that’s sarcasm.)

The problem is, a woman who doesn’t feel like spending her life actually earning a living might actually fall for the scam.

even I got the same email. I replied I want 80% instead of 40% and the guy never replied back.

Big Red Flag. This is part of a world wide con job known as 419, named after the article in the Nigerian penal code that forbids these practices. Beware!

Sad thing is that there are idiots who actually fall for that crap.
